"My Goal is to get a Beer!"
Which he accomplished
Then we headed to the wood stage (in the woods... sort of hence the name)
Too many pics again.

Sorry, none of me. But I like showing you guys stuff through my eyes better than showing you me anyway.

And I don't know what a Goa festival is, or it isn't computing because my brain is mushy. This was a thing called Pickathon that happens just outside Portland every year. It is a four day thing with camping optional.

One of the coolest things is their focus on sustainability. They use reusable dishes (real) (or bring your own plate and silverware) for all the vendors, with a big washing station. And in the beer gardens you purchase a cool steel cup for six dollars and then reuse it for every drink.

The only festival I have ever been to that didn't have a wast problem. There were no overflowing cans or gross smelliness or garbage on the ground. Every so often there was a recycling can with a trash can next to it, all the recycling cans were twice as full as the landfill ones (which barely had anything in them at all) and there were thousand and thousands of people there.

The other thing that was fun I thought, anywhere you weren't allowed alcohol instead of an attitude and No Alcohol Allowed signs everywhere there were signs that said Upside Down Cups Only and workers that reminded people with the same phrase.

Trevor doesn't like his photo being posted online, or being talked about. The rare photo or talking about him is because I cannot help myself. (He is up there too, first photo the kid leaning over behind Zachariah, third photo kid with his hands on his head)

Zachariah is just such a chaotic person... I don't know why I do not post more of him. I should.

It's crazy to watch them grow up online. I never in a million years thought I would be part of a community like this. But it's nice. I have the worst memory so it's nice when I can recall personality traits or faces when certain people in your lives are mentioned. Forgive me when I can't. I seriously think I need a head doctor.

There are a lot of us, when you consider all of the people important to all of us that we all randomly mention. If you can recognize and recall details here and there you are doing good and being a good friend. I do my best to remember details about you guys too, can't remember all of them all the time, by try to keep the things that seem important in my memory.
